4. Mad Hatter

I’m late, I’m late, I’m late to post this article, so I’d better hurry up and finish.

Jervis Tetch, alias The Mad Hatter, is a psycho who can be likably off or intensely disturbing, depending on the writer. The guy is a little dude who enjoys mind control, hats, and hats that control minds.

In his defense, who doesn’t like a good hat?

The Hatter is especially great in the Gotham Central story he features in. I’m not gonna name which arc, since his appearance in it is a surprise. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s my favorite Gotham Central story of all time.

Also, I find it funny that his motivation in the animated series was that he was basically a “nice guy”, who’s mad that his female friend won’t date him. That’s hilarious. If we could get a modern reinterpretation of the Hatter who just hangs out on the Internet whining about being “friendzoned” that would be fantastic.

3. Crazy Quilt

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy Quilt forever!!

Crazy Quilt is unique to this list in that he did not start off as a Batman villain. He actually debuted against the Boy Commandos, but found his footing as a foe for the Dark Knight. Quilt was a blind man given his sight back, kinda. It turns out the procedure left him only able to see bright lights, which drove him totally insane.

He got himself a laser-hypnosis helmet that also allowed him to see and went to work supervillaining. Which is good, because otherwise we’d have a lot of Batman stories about him punching a legally blind guy. Not a good look for the Bat.

Quilt doesn’t get used often because a lot of people find him “too ridiculous”, but come one, this is comic books. Superhero comic books, no less. NOTHING is too ridiculous for superhero comic books.
